Spartacus: The Myth and the Man by M. J. Trow (19 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

This is a revised version of M. J. Trow's classic biography of an ancient and unforgettable hero. 'I am Spartacus' ranks among the most famous lines in Hollywood, with its image of the man's comrades prepared to die in his place in the Kirk Douglas film. And die they did; not the actors but the real army of Spartacus, crucified in their thousands along the Appian Way that leads to Rome. Spartacus: The Myth and the Man is a revised version of M. J. Trow's original biography, the first to be written in English, of a legend who has become all things to all men. He has been the focus of a ballet and an opera. Karl Marx called him 'the finest fellow in ancient history' and a communist group in 1920s Germany tried to topple the Weimar government in his name. The humble slave from Thrace (today's Bulgaria) became a gladiator, led a revolt and took on the greatest military system in history - Rome. The Romans were understandably anxious to erase him from history, so key facts about the man ...

Strip an East Coast man in his forties of his marital obligations, transplant him into San Diego, and something funny happens. Enjoy 84 humorous anecdotes about relationships, love, sex, and lifestyles. Excerpt from Such a Nice Guy - The Walk of Shame I define this as the walk a woman takes from a man's residence to her car after a night of bumping nasties. Did this originate with the "Bridge of Sighs" in Venice? I sure hope not. After all, it doesn't come with a prison sentence. I find this walk hurtful (sniff) and I demand an apology on behalf of my scorned brothers. Why is the walk shameful? • If the neighbors see you, they will think you're slutty. • You're wearing the same clothes from last night (with an assortment of new pulls, wrinkles, and stains). • Your sobriety has exposed my flaws. When I leave a girl's house, I take the "walk of pride" because: • If the neighbors see me, they will think I'm stud-worthy, trustworthy, and responsible for all those funny ...

Lei è Penelope Postoli, una precisina che si veste malissimo, acida come uno yogurt scaduto e, come se tutto ciò non bastasse, architetto! Inoltre lo odia. Senza motivo? Sì, senza motivo.
